·      The class is divided at the plenary practicals.

·      The topic of the plenary practicals is the differential diagnosis of infectious diseases in different animal species.

·      Attending plenary practicals is compulsory. In the case of absence – including the justified ones (e.g. clinical work) – missing practicals have to be retaken. Retake happens in the form of a written exam, where some questions are put related to the study material of the practical.

·      Plenary practicals are held in the form of two-hour-long sessions according to the officially announced schedule.

·      Downloadable documents: Lecture materials are continuously uploaded on the moodle homepage. Presentations from the previous academic are also available here in order to support students in making own notes.

·      There will be two written midterm tests; their result is the basis of the practical grade.

·      The midterm dates and the required study materials for each, will be announced at the E-learning site.

·      The midterms will be paper-based written exams starting at 07.15, at the University.

·      The midterm test include single and multiple choice questions.

·      There will be a retake after each midterm and a re-retake at the end of the semester for those students that were absent or failed at the test.

·      The semester can be accepted if both tests are written at least at a pass (Note 2) level.

·      Midterms and retakes:

·      In the plenary practical retake, 3 questions will be put on the topic of the missed practical

·      In the MT retakes, only those students may participate, who will be absent from the preceding MT and their absence will have been justified. In the case of both midterms, the no-pass result can be retaken in the midterm re-retake.
